SITIS spans two inter-related research domains that increasingly play a key role in connecting systems across network centric environments to allow distributed computing and information sharing. SITIS 2013 aims to provide a forum for high quality presentations on research activities centered on three main tracks: - The first track titled "Web Computing and Applications (WeCA)" focuses on emerging and novel concepts, architectures, technologies, and methodologies for information management related to the Web and cloud computing. In essence, the Web, with its different versions, has created an interconnected world in which information can be exchanged easily, tasks can be processed collaboratively, communities of users with similarly interests can be formed to achieve efficiency and improve performance, etc. Taking full advantage of these interconnected environments to meet the ever increasing needs of emerging applications requires solutions that address new issues and challenges. The track calls for research papers and reports directed at several areas including: Data Semantics, Web-Centric Systems, Big Data, Information System Interoperability, Cloud, Cooperative information and Distributed Systems, and Information security - The second track titled "Signal & Image Technologies (SIT)" focuses on recent developments in digital signal processing and pays particular attention to evolutions in audiovisual signal processing, analysis, coding and authentication, and retrieval techniques. The track calls for research papers and reports directed at several areas including:Image Processing and Analysis, Signal processing, Image/Video Coding and Authentication, and Applications - The third track titled "Multimedia Information Retrieval and Application (MIRA)" focuses on emerging modeling, representation and retrieval techniques that take into account the amount, type and diversity of multimedia information accessible in distributed computing environment. The internet, social networking, multimedia databases and management of multimedia cultural collections have created the need for cross-fields models, paradigms and techniques for efficient modeling, management and consumption of multimedia contents. The track calls for research papers and reports directed at several areas including Multimedia Query and Retrieval; Mobile and Location-Based Media, Social media and Social networking, Multimedia Security, and Multimedia Arts, Entertainment and Digital Culture. Submission and publication -------------------------- The conference will include keynote addresses, tutorials, and regular and workshop sessions. SITIS 2013 invites submission of high quality and original papers on the topics of the major tracks described below. All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed by at least two reviewers for technical merit, originality, significance and relevance to track topics. Papers must be up to 8 pages and follow IEEE double columns publication format. Accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings and published by IEEE Computer Society and referenced in IEEE explore and major indexes. Important dates ---------------- * Paper Submission: September 08th, 2013 * Acceptance/Reject notification: October 06th, 2013 * Camera ready: October 13th, 2013 * Author registration: October 20, 2013 Committees ----------- General Chairs: Setsuo Tsuruta, Tokyo Denki University, Japan Ernesto Damiani, Universit? degli Studi di Milano, Italy WeCa Track Chairs: Kokou Yetongnon, University of Bourgogne, France Richard Chbeir, University of Pau, France MIRA Track Chairs: Shin'ichi Satoh, National Institute of Informatics, Japan Yuichi Nakamura, Kyoto University, Japan SIT Track Chairs: Andrea Kutics, International Christian University, Japan Albert Dipanda, University of Bourgogne, France More details about each track and detailed topics can be found on the conference website: http://www.sitis-conf.org/ From Richard.Chbeir at u-bourgogne.fr Mon Aug 26 10:46:01 2013 From: Richard.Chbeir at u-bourgogne.fr (Richard Chbeir) Date: Mon, 26 Aug 2013 16:46:01 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Sighlth-l] CFP IEEE SITIS 2013: 9th International Conference on Signal Image Technology & Internet Based Systems (December 2-5, 2013 - Kyoto, Japan) In-Reply-To: <2069597235.209384.1346688407830.JavaMail.root@zstore02.rp.u-bourgogne.fr> References: <2069597235.209384.1346688407830.JavaMail.root@zstore02.rp.u-bourgogne.fr> Message-ID: <384058603.11691610.1377528361402.JavaMail.root@u-bourgogne.fr> Apologies for multiple diffusion CALL FOR PAPERS ====================================================================== The 9th International Conference on SIGNAL IMAGE TECHNOLOGY & INTERNET-BASED SYSTEMS (SITIS?13) December 2 - 5, 2013 In cooperation with ACM SIGAPP French Chapter and IEEE Technical Committee on Multimedia Computing Kyoto Terrsa, Japan http://www.sitis-conf.org/ ====================================================================== The SITIS conference is dedicated to research on the technologies used to represent, share and process information in various forms, ranging from signal, image, and multimedia data to traditional structured data and semi-structured data found in the web.
